Pracaraka Training
Learn to Teach an Introductory Meditation Course
Trainer: Dada Nabhaniilananda
Organizer: Manika
August 9, 10 and August 16 17 – two weekends
- Arrival time 8:30am Saturday 9th August for registration. Training starts at 9am sharp each day. Plan on arriving at least 15 minutes early.
- We have 90 minutes for lunch break, which includes kiirtan and meditation.
- We finish at 5pm each day.
- At the home of Phanindra and Mahajyoti, 8555 Haskell, North Hills CA 91343
The Plan
- To expand our membership we are teaching maximum margiis how to introduce others to Ananda Marga practices and philosophy
- We will create a number of teams of two and train them how to set up and teach a class.
- In the near future we will introduce a 4 week Intermediate Course and an 8 week Advanced Course. This way our students can progress in a systematic way to becoming full fledged Ananda Marga practitioners.
- How to teach people to meditate using the Baba Nam Kevalam mantra
- How to teach the basic asanas and kaoshikii
- How to teach an eight week course, matching the 8 chapters of the class text book, Close Your Eyes & Open Your Mind
- How to address frequently asked questions
- How to organize and promote your class
- How to speak confidently to a small group
- How to use multimedia and support materials
- You will have a teaching partner, so if you do are not confident about your readiness to teach a class, you could still do the training and start out as a teachers assistant as a path to becoming a full fledged instructor.
